### What are AI generated images?

**AI generated images** help you create lifestyle images from product photos in **Generate with AI**.

AI generated images help you:

* Showcase products in a new setting or use case.
* Create on-brand lifestyle images.

### How AI generated images work

Channable uses a source image and your prompt to generate a new version. You can create lifestyle images, show products in use, or place products in a setting that suits your brand.

For example, you can use a product image of a dress to generate an image of someone wearing it.

{% hint style="info" %}

#### Example

* Turn a flat image of a dress into a photo of someone wearing it.
* Show sunglasses on a model instead of against a plain background.
* Place a piece of furniture in a styled living room.
  {% endhint %}

### What type of images can I generate?

You can generate product-based lifestyle images that place a product in a new setting or show it in use.

{% hint style="warning" %}

#### You need a source image

AI generated images need a source image. They cannot create a product image without one.
{% endhint %}

### Where AI generated images run

AI generated images run in **Generate with AI**.

You select a source image field, filter the items, and apply a prompt. After you approve generated images, Channable saves them in your selected project field.

You can then use the approved images across your project, including in your channels.

### More information

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://helpcenter.channable.com/manage-improve-product-data/generate-with-ai/ai-generated-images.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
